Generally speaking (every situation is a bit different) you might very well improve performance all around by doing as you said i.e. moving static tables to local machines and your other optimizations you are already working on. Try your EXE locally and see if that helps. If nothing else the thing should at least start up faster and I'll be you will see other improvements too. But if you are running your EXE locally you'll want to figure out a way to update all the machines with a loader program. Users start the loader, loader checks for new verion, if new version loader copies over old EXE, loader calls the new EXE. Pretty straightforward....
